Cyprus have secured second place in the UEFA Nations League C Group 2, collecting eight points from four games but are not in position to challenge the first position.
A 1-1 draw against Armenia in Yerevan was enough to claim it, Iasonas Pikis scoring an early goal. They ended this clash with 1.72-1.28 xG, 32% possession and 10-25 shots.
Cyprus' only defeat so far came in the opening round against Montenegro (2-1). This was followed by a goalless draw against Latvia and victories over Armenia (2-0) and Latvia (2-1).
Montenegro Secured First Place
Montenegro secured promotion in the UNL after accumulating 13 points in five games and will compete in Division B next season.
The Brave Falcons started this campaign with three tight victories against Cyprus 2-1, Armenia 3-2 and Latvia 2-1. Atalanta's striker Nikola Krstovic played huge role in these victories, scoring two goals and registering one assist.
Montenegro's winning streak came to an end in early October, their home matches against Armenia ending in a goalless draw.
First place was secured on Thursday, beating Latvia 2-1 in Podgorica even though Stefan Savic was sent off in the 57th minute when the score was 0-0. Aleksa Maras was the hero, finding the net in stoppage time.
